Comment: I am 21 and have been crocheting for a few months. I started on baby afghans and moved to ponchos. I take my unfinished projects to work to occupy me during lunch and the girls at work love to watch and see my pieces progress. I am an eligibility worker that signs people up for food stamps and medical cards through the state. Wearing what I make helps me to get my clients to open up to me, see me as equal, and be comfortable. For those at my office and clients that wish to learn to crochet, I always give your web address as the only site I use for my patterns and instruction. Your site is amazing and so informative. Thanks for putting together something so great and giving people a chance to share their stories.

Comment: Hi. I am 11 years old. I taught myself to crochet, but one day at school this teacher stopped me and showed me a helpful hint. Ever since then I can't stop. I am trying to learn to make stuffed animals. Thanks for reading.

Subject: crochet!
Comment: This site has been so awesome! I've been crocheting since probably October 2004 and I'm about to turn 13 in a few days! I can't tell you how much stuff I have made! I have boxes and boxes and boxes of stuff that I've made and plan on selling later this year. I've even had some help coming up with a name for all of the things I make. My language arts teacher suggested that when I do sell my stuff, to call it Katie's Creations. No other site compares to this one as far as crochet patterns go, this is the BEST out there! I have a trapper about ready to explode full of all the patterns I've printed off this site!

Subject: Crochet Anywhere
Comment: Crocheting is a great thing to do anywhere!! I do it all the time while watching TV or listening to a CD. I'm only 12 and I have been crocheting for I think 4 years. I do it everywhere!!It's also a good thing to do while babysitting. You can still keep an eye on the kids while you're having some fun!! And I love to make things for people. They like it 3 times as much because you made it!!! I also like to crochet on long car drives. It helps pass the time. It is a great thing to do on vacation. You can still talk with people and do all that stuff and get some of your crocheting done!!!

Comment: I've spent so many hours looking through this site. I'm 21 and have been crocheting for a few years. I love it more and more and try to do it everyday. I've completed three doilies this past month :) It's a great form of self-relaxation as well as very therapeutic and uplifting during stressful times. Thank you so much to whoever is responsible for this fantasic site. I wouldn't use any other.

Comment: I am 28 and have been crocheting for years. I just in the last 6 months have really picked it up again and I am hooked (no pun intended). I really feel that crocheting has helped me deal with some depression and anxiety issues I have been dealing with for years. It is such a self-asteem booster to look at a finsished project and say "Wow, I made this!".

Comment: I have read time and time again how crocheting makes one relax and that is so true! As soon as I pick up my "hook" my whole body relaxes and I just don't want to stop for a minute. I have been crocheting for 30 years now and have enjoyed every minute of it.

Subject: Yay crochet!
Comment: I'm 20 and I just started crocheting maybe 4 months ago and I'm practically a pro now! I tried knitting for about 2 seconds and after I realized that it just isn't the same without a hook on the end of the needle, I said "forget this," and continued crocheting. I swear by this site! No other site has the collection that this one does! I can't tell you how many patterns I have printed off of here! Keep them coming! we'll all be here to use the patterns!!! :D

Comment: Hi! I have been crocheting since I was six years old. My grammy who was 96 years old at the time taught me to crochet. My first project she taught me was to make an oreo cookie magnet. I was so eager to learn. I never put it down since. She was the most precious thing in my life. I don't know how she had the patience to teach me but she sure did. I will never forget all the lessons I done with her. She always crocheted in her rocking chair and I would sit in front of her while she explained the stitches to me. I am going to be 33 years old in June. The only time when I don't have a hook in my hand is when I work and when I finally put down the project to go to bed.!!! I don't know what I would do with out it. It calms me after a long day at work. It is so relaxing. I am so glad to read in here all the young ladies and gentlemen who have picked up the most precious art. Keep it up and Happy Crocheting to all.
